My S2 has stopped locating a course so I can begin a round

Customer Question

Hello & Welcome to Just Answer,Sorry to hear of any issue you are having with your device.To help you with this issue, may I ask:1) The AGE of the device?2) WHEN was the device last SUCCESSFULLY used?3) WHERE was the device last successfully used, as related to where you are now?Thanks

Hi again and thanks for that information. OK - was the battery allowed to discharge to a very low level - since the last time the device worked properly?And can I assume that the device has been FULLY charged - since that last use?What exactly shows on the screen of the device (what words) - when you start it up to find the courses? One other thing: Has the device EVER been updated - since it was new? Thanks

Thanks for that information. OK - if it IS showing the distance to some random hole, that tells us that at least it has the courses in it, but the device may need to be RESET - and then allowed to find the satellite signal again. I find that it is BEST to let the device sit in a STATIONARY place after a reset - so it can find and lock on the satellite signal FASTER. Here is the reset procedures I have for this device. I would try the SOFT reset first, and then the Master reset only if the soft reset doesn't restore proper operation. To Soft Reset the Approach:=======================- Press and hold Light/Power- Wait until screen goes blank (approximately 10 seconds)- Release Light/Power- Press and hold Light/Power- When the device powers on, release Light/PowerThe Approach will now restart. If the device is still unresponsive, connect the watch to the computer and then follow the above steps again.=======================To Master Reset the Approach (S2):===========================- Power the Approach off (Press and hold LIGHT/POWER button until device powers off)- Press and hold DOWN- Press LIGHT/POWER- Release DOWN and LIGHT/POWER when screen displays Clear user data?- Select YesThe device should now be reset to default factory settings, and the device should function as expected=========================== Please give one or both of these resets a try and then allow the device plenty of time to find and lock on the satellite signals - and then the courses. Let me know what you find or if you have any more questions. Thanks, ***** *****
